Aberlour Family Outreach Dumfries and Galloway

Alternative Routes Cashback supports young people aged 10-25 years and their families, where young people are at risk of being involved in antisocial behaviour, offending or reoffending.

Aberlour runs four distinctive family services in Dumfries and Galloway:
Intensive Family Support Service - We help children, young people and families who are struggling to manage the challenges of day to life. They be affected by a range of issues, including drug and alcohol use. We support children from birth, and work alongside whole families.

Families2Gether - Working in partnership with Dumfries Prison and D&G Alcohol and Drugs Partnership we work with family members who are serving prison sentences of less than four years, those on remand, and those on a Home Detention Curfew. Support is offered from 12 weeks prior to their release and during the first six months after release.

Smarter2Gether – We work closely with schools to help children and young people who may be anxious about attending school or have a range of different challenges in school.
